Red White Blue Shine Brightly card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Red/White/Blue".

Red and blue aren't colors that I often combine in a card, but at least once a year. And each time I like the result of adding only those two colors on a card.

I started with Script Ledger and Dapper stamp and the mini Distress Archival Ink Black Soot (so excited for the big pads). For texture I used Texture Paste with the Stars stencil.

 

When the Texture Paste was dry I used Distress Oxide Crackling Campfire and Faded Jeans, and to give more depth I used Infusions In The Navy and Terracotta. To temper the stains and apply a shimmer, I diluted Metallique Paint Stormy Ocean and Flame with water. That gives a very cool effect around the Texture Paste.
